Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:

"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

😂😂

Trump will deem Iran to have surrendered

This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

😆

Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

How tacky

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?

NOEM: No

RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?

NOEM: No


RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

Ya know, there is such a thing as female narcissists as well!

I’m telling you, she stands in front of a mirror and practices doublespeak!

A navy torpedo detonates under the target, lifts it out of the water and cracks the hull. The people who aren’t thrown overboard by the blast are knocked unconscious and buried alive in their compartments when the ship sinks. We did that to 141 people today for no reason.

Jasmine Crockett is a class act. 💙

Yeah, give it a month. It’s Iran.

I hate war but I love this

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

These are the same people that are still screaming about Afghanistan? Honestly! I can’t even.
